Kathy Kelley

Kathy Kelley is a freelance advertising writer and environmental science editor. The initial seed for The Last Summer was planted when she visited the ruins of ancient Pompeii nearly 20 years ago. Then, after reading a crop of accessible (read, entertaining) works of historical fiction, she realized that this is the kind of writing she wanted to do. Kathy lives in the city of Chicago with her husband and teenage son. Her favorite activities are traveling, gourmet cooking, and field hockey. (Note: one of the preceding is a fabrication).
